SCDM

“Leading innovative clinical data science to advance global health research and development”

[SCDM @SCDM_DataDriven]

How do we build the next generation of clinical data professionals?

A brief report published in JSCDM highlights the important role internships play in developing talent across CDM and CDS. The survey identified 276 internship positions across 47 organizations, showing there are many opportunities available for those entering the profession.

As our field continues to evolve, from increasing data complexity to intelligent technologies, hands-on experience is only the beginning of building a future-ready workforce. It requires continuous learning, competency development, and validation of skills.

That's why this article reflects a broader industry need that sits at the heart of SCDM's Vision 2030: preparing professionals to lead the future of clinical data. SCDM supports that journey through the CDM Competency Framework, elev8, and CCDA Certification, providing a pathway from entry into the profession to future readiness.

📝 Did you get the chance to review the GCDMP© chapter “Clinical Trial Database Lock” yet? If not, there is still time.

Before the weekend kicks in, take a few minutes to dive into one of the most critical steps in the clinical trial lifecycle - Database lock: the point where data integrity, statistical analyses, and regulatory submissions all depend on getting it right.

We need your expertise to make sure the chapter is accurate, applicable, and aligned with how DB lock is handled across today’s studies.

What really keeps participants engaged in clinical trials?
A new #JSCDM study finds it’s not just tech or convenience, it's: clear communication, trust, respect, and feeling supported.
Decentralized trials offer flexibility. Traditional trials bring human connection. Across both, transparency matters most.

What does clinical data science look like in a year or two? What about in 2030?

At the #SCDM 2025 Japan Conference, Ward Lemaire, Head of Data Management & Central Monitoring at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, and incoming SCDM Chair, will share where our industry is heading in the next five years and how #SCDM will support this journey for clinical data professionals across the globe.

During his keynote, Ward will share a first glimpse into SCDM’s future-focused vision for 2030 which includes building partnerships and collaborations, transforming education, and expanding our global reach. All of this unified around one shared vision: to lead clinical data for a healthier world.

If you believe in a future where clinical data drives better health for all - our vision is your call to action.

The SCDM 2026 EMEA Conference theme - Bridge Ideas, Build Futures - draws inspiration from Copenhagen’s iconic bridges, like the Øresund Bridge linking Denmark and Sweden. Just as bridges connect cities and communities, our work in clinical data connects systems, teams, and ultimately, patients.

This year, we’ll explore how stronger connections - between fragmented data sources, cross-functional teams, and the patient journey - can lead to smarter, more inclusive clinical trials.

Copenhagen is where we will meet for #EMEA26, where conversations will spark new ways of working, and collaboration turns into action.

Join us on 3-6 May 2026 to share your perspective, learn from others, and help build a more connected approach to clinical data: https://t.co/d5tVGEWMDp

AI-Powered Oversight Starts with Smarter Workflows

As Annexes 2 and 3 approach, clinical data teams must evolve from delegation to independent oversight.

During the next #SCDM industry webinar brought to you by @RevvitySignals , Christie Quarles, Philip Ross and Brent Meyers will explore how AI and automation are transforming how we detect risks, generate CtQ listings, and document decisions, without writing a single line of code.

If you’re navigating inspections, oversight, or AI-powered workflows, this session is your roadmap.🔗 Save your spot: https://t.co/rprQFrcZ7w
